1684 Tertullian Apologetics Early Church Father Pagan Gnosticism Heresy Giry

 

“Truth persuades by teaching, but does not teach by persuading.”

― Tertullian

 

Tertullian was a 2^nd-century early Christian church author and apologist. His works helped establish Western theology and early Church doctrine, especially those that spoke out against heresy. He is perhaps most famous for being the first Latin writer to use the term ‘trinity’ in reference to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

 

Tertullian emphatically defended Christianity against pagans as well as defended ‘freedom of religion’ as human right unable to be taken away. One of his important apologetics was an anti-Jewish treatise to counteract Gnosticism and other philosophically based doctrines.

 

These defenses, along with other Tertullian works, are collected in this 1684 French edition. This edition features the translation and notes of Louis Giry.
